Well, I'm using the default tape settings:

(dan@media7) /mnt/emssrv5/home/dan> mt -f /dev/rsa0.ctl status
Mode      Density              Blocksize      bpi      Compression
Current:  0x28:X3.224          variable       37871    disabled

I've never had to explicitly set my tapes to variable before.  I'm
seeing this on a couple models of tape drive, and different
controllers, so it's not a quirk entry or adapter bug biting me.

Here's a bit more info.  media2 and media7 exhibit the problem; media3
and media5 apparently don't.  media2 and media5 have identical tape
drives; they all have slightly different adapters.

media2:
